For more than two decades Klenk Law has focused only on Estate and Elder Abuse Law. We’ve seen it all, and this experience allows us to explain complex estate law techniques clearly and concisely. If you are involved in an elder abuse situation our experienced Estate Planning and Estate Litigation Attorneys will make it easy for you to understand your options and provide top notch representation.
Many firms assign Estate Litigation cases to their young lawyers or a general litigator. This is not cost effective. Being that Estate Litigation is what we do, our experience allows us to focus quickly on the issues that matter. By being focused, we arrive at the most cost efficient plan. We find the solution to your problem while the others are just warming up.
While some firms litigate, few of them have whole departments focused exclusively on estate matters. At Klenk Law, our Elder Abuse Litigators have the luxury of partnering with other lawyers from our Estate Administration or Estate Planning Departments. The depth of experience we can focus on your case is truly impressive. Whatever issue you are facing, our team has the answer.

Peter Klenk was a joy to work with. He made sure I understood every element of the process of estate planning and his firm made the process seemless and uncomplicated. Very grateful!
Extremely professional services with courteous, responsive communication. Would recommend to anyone.
Very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Also very competitive pricing. Recommended to me by another attorney. First class service from start to finish.
The whole process of ensuring that I can provide my mother her wishes upon her death, was made easy by working with the team at Klenk Law. I received my documents quickly and properly.
I have worked with three different attorneys and law firms over the years, and I can confidently say that attorney Peter Klenk stands out as the most knowledgeable. He created the most thorough wills and trust documents I've ever had. Mr. Klenk took the time to gather all the necessary details about my current situation and goals. As a result, he put together comprehensive documents that I believe will effectively protect my assets and ensure my children's inheritance is secure.
What truly sets Mr. Klenk apart is his patience and dedication to understanding my questions. He provided detailed explanations that made complex legal concepts much easier to grasp. His team's communication and scheduling were equally impressive, making the entire process smooth and stress-free.
Thank you, Mr. Klenk, and your fantastic team, for your exceptional service!
